Abstract:
A media control device transmits an HDMI connection validation message based on a home network protocol to a first media control target device via an IP-based home network. The first media control target device transmits a first message based on a CEC protocol to the second media control target device via a CEC-based network. The media control device receives an HDMI connection information message based on the home network protocol via the IP-based home network. The media control device validates an HDMI connection between the first media control target device and the second media control target device on the basis of the HDMI connection information message.
